I thought I’d post a slightly different take on an experience I had several years ago in a previous role, sometimes even the good guys need some luck. We had recently taken on a new client and hadn’t had a chance to review their infrastructure, unfortunately for them, everything was domain-joined and backed up locally to a NAS.The client got hit by ransomware and it ran amok encrypting the production VMs and unfortunately for the client also files stored on the NAS. This happened during the middle of the night and the client only noticed the next day when they turned up for work. Frantic calls followed to the help desk and the recovery effort started.Initial response efforts found that the backup server encrypted and it looked like the backup metadata was also affected. Upon further investigation, Lady Luck shows up. It appears that a number of the VBK files were being written at the time and were locked, so they were not affected.We deployed a new VBR server and set about importing th
Hi,Is anyone attending the Hands-On Lab event on the 22nd in Manchester?I’ll be winging my way over for the day.CheersMark
The below are just the thoughts that I've been having over the weekend now that Server 2025 has been announced. This is a long-term view that I believe after seeing how the industry has changed especially over the last 5 - 10 years.For those of us who like myself can remember the joy that DosKey and MemMaker brought to the DOS days, given the ways Windows Server evolved from Windows NT 3.5 days, I have to wonder Can Windows Server still evolve and innovate?With today's drive towards XaaS, serverless & micro-services, the infra landscape is starting to change. The rise of DevOps etc in the past few years shows how the landscape is changing. With this in mind, I wonder just how much can Windows Server continue to innovate.I also think that given the VMware/ Brodcam debacle if Microsoft can't seize a lion's share of the virtualization market to all the up-and-coming contenders then just how long will M/S continue to try and develop more features if the market share isn't there?
I’m curious are many of us using vCD in production?We have it but are still quite new into this journey and slowly starting to pick away at the features available. We have self-service enabled for backups and are looking to explore cloud connect DRaaS into vCD in the near future.Do you have plans to deploy vCD to add value to your VMware deployments?Has the acquisition by Broadcom affected any future plans to deploy it?
Are there any plans for a Meetup this year? Virtual or In-Person Cheers Mark
We all have seen the raft of big-ticket new features but there are a lot of ‘small’ things in this release as well. One of my favourite features is the Disk Space check when doing an upgrade. This should make performing upgrades a smoother process, especially for those managing multiple VBR deployments. The private hotfix check is another welcome addition.What’s your favourite ‘small’ feature in this release?
I thought I’d put my thoughts on Veeam Service Provider Console out there. Hopefully, it will be of use to MSP’s out there.Working in the MSP space for the last 10+ years managing multiple deployments has always been time-consuming, especially as most MSPs usually distribute this workload to operational teams rather than having a dedicated team managing the platform. Enter Veeam Service Provider Console. I believe that Veeam Service Provider Console is one of the products least used to its full potential by MSPs. Deployed correctly it can be a very useful and time-saving addition to your toolset.What is Veeam Service Provider Console?Veeam Service Provider Console provides centralized management and monitoring of your various Veeam deployments such as VBR servers, M365 & Agents.Why should I use it?Version 8 of the console brings a raft of new features and behind-the-scenes improvements, many of which are driven by community feedback. I have been using VSPC since its days as VAC and
Is anybody attending VeeamOn in London in September.I’ll be travelling down on the 13th with a colleague.
